The second battle was [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s attempt to get into the base and kill the Master Chief. Approximately six [[Type-28 Troop Carrier|Spirit dropships]] full of Covenant and the captured [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] ''[[Charlie 217]]'' full of cloaked commando [[Sangheili|Elites]] participated in the attack. The Pelican managed to touch down and release the Elites before its landing pad was doused in fuel and lit. However, Zuka 'Zamamee and several Elites had already fled and began in search of the Chief. Before being killed by the [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth Elites]] led by Zamamee, a valiant crewman, Cho, gave the AI Wellsley control of the 50mm autocannons, with which he was able to eliminate 1 [[Type-28 Troop Carrier|Spirit dropship]]. The remaining dropships released their troops further away from the base and attempted to assault it thus. Snipers expertly inflicted heavy casualties on the disembarking troops. Two of the recovered [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion Tanks]] had been entrenched and were able to cut down much of the onslaught, including the [[Field Master|Field Commander]]. With their leader dead, lesser Elites attempted to assume command with little success. In the end, all remaining Covenant were either captured, killed, or forced to retreat. [[Yayap]] and [[Zuka 'Zamamee|Zamamee]] were able to survive by stealing one of the [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] that the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] had been able to salvage. | The second battle was [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s attempt to get into the base and kill the Master Chief.

The entrances to these caverns were successfully sealed, and the Flood were delayed from overtaking the base. By the time they managed to break through, the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces had abandoned the base in hopes of leaving the installation aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. | ||
